Andon light system installations have done the basic job for decades: a colored light tells you something's wrong. That's useful, but it doesn't say what's wrong, how long it's been going on, or who's already been notified, and that matters once a plant is running more than a couple of lines at once. Pairing the lights with a digital log and automatic routing to maintenance fills that gap in. Soft Designers works with manufacturers to connect existing light towers to a system that tracks every alert from the moment it fires to when it's resolved, which tends to shrink repair times noticeably.
